Employment

Discovery Playtown was designed by a teacher and her husband with a mission to create a gathering place for families to play and learn together.

Unlike the usual bouncy house or climbing gym-style playground, Discovery Playtown is focused around the concept of educational entertainment, or "edutainment". Featuring an authentic kid-size playtown, Discovery Playtown is where kids can come to learn through their play. By acting out real-life roles, they learn to understand the world they live in.
